I feel like we add did a better job at playing during dress rehearsals only because we weren’t nervous and we were playing to people we knew and not in front of 150 people.
In the first song you can hear me struggling to play in the beginning this was because I haven’t warmed up before we started the dress rehearsal but later on in the song I managed to play it.
Our final performance went amazing all of had fun and really enjoyed it.
What went well was that we all were in sync, all of us knew what to do and we just had a good time.
All of the hours put into this project finally paid off.
I’ll be missing you
The things that didn’t go as well for me where that I was struggling to play our first song I’ll be missing you because I was nervous and scared of being judged and also while I was playing I was accidently turning down the volume knob on my guitar and only realised it when we started playing Gangsters Paradise.
What I would need to do for it to not happen again is I would have to improve on my picking technique.
You can see that Ashton was communication with the audience and making them clap.
Gangsters Paradise
When I was playing the second song I was supposed to have a clean tone but left the distortion on after the first band Smoke Break. Also my hand was getting tired and I couldn’t do barre chords anymore so I played power chords half way through the song. What I would do to improve this is to do some hand exercises before I play and also stretch out my fingers so that I could reach out to more frets.
Zombie
For the third song I had some what of a break because I didn’t have to play as much, I only played power chords with distortion and a melody just before Kaitlyn and Elaina started to sing also for the pre-chorus I was playing power chords but I played them muted so it was giving of a chugging sound.
At the beginning of the song the intro Lukass plays his chord progression once and then I start playing my part 3 times with everyone else but Luke stops playing after the second one and starts to play it once more which confused me because we played it just fine in the dress rehearsal but It could of just been him being nervous and forgetting what to do.
Also for the ending of the song me and Lukass kept on playing even though the song had finished.
live performance aspects
My strengths during the live performance was that I stayed calm during the whole performance what really help me out was just before we went on stage we did some breathing exercises while doing a super man pose which really help us with our confidence and the jobs that some of us got helped as well.
